I am needing new mirror 'stems' for the Magna. Can find plenty of mirrors, but so far no stems. Suggestions?

I don't think you will find just the stems you will probably just have to buy new mirrors with the stems. You can get a pair on eBay for about 25 bucks.
At my very first MOOTMAG, I dropped my shiny "new" (to me) bike unloading it from the back of my pickup. Only damage was the left mirror/stem. I bought an aftermarket mirror at a local shop for about $20. The vibration isolation was nowhere near as effective as OEM mirror, and I could not see anything in it. If a vehicle was right on my left rear quarter, I could pick that up, but that was about the extent of it. I eventually gave up and bought an OEM replacement. Been stable ever since. Maybe Jerry's experience is different, and he can recommend an effective, low-cost replacement. I would like to know.

That has been my experience also.
Brad, I've got a good 'used' mirror stem you're welcome to. It's even still got a good mirror attached :lol:

Brad, I have a set too. One mirror got smashed and I replaced the set. They old ones are sitting in my garage. Let me know if you still need 'em. I can send you pics.
